Masao Kawada and Peter Fabiano commented that the story of Resident Evil 3 Remake will undergo several changes. However, the developers say the plot will retain the charm of the original game released in September 1999.

The developers also explain that, due to the action elements, it was necessary to change the design of the protagonist Jill Valentine. However, they did not make any major changes in their look because the character is one of the best known in the franchise. In this way, any more “abrupt” change could make it uncharacteristic.

Finally, the producer pair revealed the real purpose of the game. According to them, the proposal is to show the strength and beauty of Jill Valentine and how she controls her own fear when facing the villain Nemesis.

Available for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC, Resident Evil 3 Remake is scheduled to be released on April 3, 2020.
